Lower control arm bushing - Help please

You have to be slightly brutal with your approach here.... If you don't have access to an air chisel then stop by an alignment shop and have one of the old grey-beards cut it out for you. Splitting it and rolling it over inside the opening is the way to go. Once it's freed up you can pull it out with pliers. It's a crappy job, but not impossible. Just be careful you don't gouge the inside too badly or you *might* have problems installing the new bushing. If it does get gouged, try and smooth it out with a rotary grinder or dremel it all else fails. It doesn't have to be cylinder-wall-smooth, but you don't want it to look likr an inverted corn cobb either.

Here's a few web pages that might help too:
